TUBERCULOSIS

Medical definition

An infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, formerly known as consumption or wasting disease.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) can lay dormant for many years, but chronic infection is spread very easily by coughing or sneezing. Unfortunately TB is once again on the increase as the number of cases reported in major international cities has more than doubled in the last 5 years. This is partly due to the influx of refugees and asylum seekers from parts of the world where TB is endemic.

It is reported that London is the TB capital of Europe and New York has set up special hospitals just to treat resistant cases. What is worrying though is a report broadcast on National Geographic TV Channel that in Russia 4 million people are infected with TB, many of which are carrying drug resistant strains who are just walking the streets spreading the pool of infection. Unfortunately a large number of Russian prisoners are also infected and do not qualify for any treatment. So when they are released they are then able to spread the disease still further.

Recently a number of strains of MDR TB were isolated from patients in a London teaching hospital. The patients are often treated by combinations of antibiotics including Streptomycin and Rifampicin. Any growth in the presence of an antimicrobial is significant with MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis and growth was noted on all cases where strains from these patients were treated with Streptomycin. However no growth was found where strains were treated with allicin liquid.

All strains isolated were completely killed off by allicin liquid. Since Mycobacterium tuberculosis tends to present mostly in the lungs we would expect allicin formulations to work very well. This is because allicin has a propensity for the lung tissue, as it is very useful in chest infections and other diseases of the lung like asthma. Aside from this allicin will boost the immune system substantially and allow your body to begin fighting off this serious infection.

Treatment regimen
Begin by taking allicin powder several times a day. Dilute allicin powder 1 part allicin to 2 parts water and take 10ml (two teaspoons full) every day. Add 1080mg of allicin powder daily and continue this routine for a period of several weeks until any progress is noted.
